Boot loop - Please help!

I recently installed a new screen on my laptop (Acer Nitro 5). Everything seemed to be working fine for a few days until this morning, when my laptop just randomly restarted itself.

Now it's stuck in a boot loop, and won't get past the initial Acer loading screen.

I've created a Windows 10 USB, to try getting into safe mode, but I can't even get it to boot from USB. It just keeps restarting in a loop.

Without the USB, I get a 'Preparing Automatic Repair' message, then it just restarts over and over again in the same loop.

When I go into BIOS, sometimes my screen glitches and flickers, which makes me think it might be a hardware issue, but I'm not sure.

I have no idea what to do. Please help!

    Hi JohnNada80,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    If you are getting that 'Preparing Automatic Repair' screen, then your laptop is not booting form the USB.

    If your screen is glitching in BIOS, that does indicate a hardware issue, who replaced the screen, was that Acer Support or a PC Repair Shop?

    In BIOS if you can, ensure it is in UEFI Mode, disable Secure Boot and set the USB as the primary boot device.

    Save those settings and then try booting from the USB again.
